The Magic - By Rhonda Byrne - Day 3

Hey Everybody,

I am continuing on with my Attitude of Gratitude.  Today is Day 3 of my reading The Magic. 

Today we were to continue on with the 10 things that we were grateful for. So here they are:

Today I am grateful for:
1) A great rest day today - because we all need rest.  I was able to sleep in an hour later than normal and spend another hour laying in bed having grateful thoughts.
2) I am grateful for the activity of my limbs because it allows me to move freely.
3) I am thankful for my washer and dryer because I dont have to go to the laundromat.
4) My husband painting my office bathroom - because I started it in November or December and hadnt finished it.
5) A working stove and oven - because it allows me to cook my favorite foods.
6) lasagna I made tonight - because I had a desire for it and GOD ensured that I had the provisions to make it.
7) My health - because we take it for granted while we have it and miss it when its gone.
8) My computer - because it allows me to do my work as well as entertain myself.
9) A grocery store - because I didnt have to slaughter an animal for meat, forage for herbs or grow my vegetables etc.
10) a hot shower - because cold showers are no fun.

In addition to our 10 things, we were supposed to think of 3 people who we have relationships with that we are thankful for.  We were supposed to look at their picture at least 3 times a day and say " Thank  you _________ (person) for ______ (what you are grateful for)."

So these are my 3 people:

1) My husband - My King
 
 1) Because the man I get to see - no  one else gets to see.  He allows himself to be vulnerable around me.  he is hilarious and fun as well.
2) Because he has always supported my dreams
3) Because he ask me (literally) 10x a day whether there is anything that I need.
4) Because he is the love of my life
5) Because he completes me.

2) My Mom and Dad










1)  Because they gave me life
2) Because they supported my dream of being a lawyer
3) Because they showed (and continue to show) me love, shelter & discipline
4) Because they're just awesome
5) Because they have always been there for me.

3)  My Best Friend






  

1) Because she is the most loving and compassionate friend
2) Because she always knows what to say
3) Because she is GOOGLE
4) Because she is "my person" (if you watch Greys Anatomy - then you'll get this)
5) Because even though we are 3000 miles apart, she makes sure it doesn't feel like it.

I tell you I am just feeling like a big ball of love after this exercise.... Thinking about these people and how I love them, just brings me joy.

Are you reading The Magic?  if not, what are you waiting on? lol

Have a magical night, and a magical day tomorrow! I know I will.

love ya,
xoxoxox,

The Magic - by Rhonda Byrne - Day 2

The Magic - by Rhonda Byrne - Day 2

Yesterday, I told you guys about my day 1 and The Magic.  Well today, I wanted to share my Day 2 with you guys and what I am grateful for.

I went and purchased me a composition book today that will serve as my Gratitude book that I will write the 10 things that I am grateful for each day.

In addition, I found my gratitude rock in my backyard.  My husband likes to collect rocks when we are at the beach and bring them home to the backyard and this is the one I picked.  Can you see it?  Its on the book.  Its uniquely shaped and has unique ridges on it and I thought that it fit my personality better than a smooth stone with no character. :)

So, without further adieu, here's what im grateful for today:

1) My sisters - both blood sisters and my bestfriends, because they all love me and support me in different ways.
2) Technology - because it allows us to communicate, learn, work and achieve our goals.
3) Safe traveling mercies on the highways and  biways - this week the hubby and I have put in major miles on the road.  Without safe traveling mercies and our guardian angels protected us something bad could have happened.
4) cuddle and conversation time with my hubby - because it allows us interact and remain close to each other.
5) Shelter - because I have a nice and comfortable home.
6) Crablegs - because they have always been my reward at the end of a long week.
7) My current, past & prospective clients - because I get to help them and in turn it helps me.
8) Being able to pay my light bill today because I have power in my house to run my TV, AC, stove, hot water heater, electronics etc...
9) Janet and Nadia - because they help me out in my business tremendously.
10) I am grateful that my hair is growing because my self-esteem is better.

So those are the 10 things that I am grateful for today (well i'm grateful for more than 10 but I limited it to 10 things).  As you can see, they dont have to be super deep philosophical things, just things that you are grateful for.

I hope you guys had a magical day today! I sure did!

xoxoxo,

Tatiana

The Magic - by Rhonda Byrne

The Magic - By Rhonda Byrne


Two days ago my girlfriend suggested that I read The Magic - By Rhonda Byrne and she even offered me to use her Amazon Prime account so that i could receive it immediately because she was starting to see great things in her life -- and she isnt even finished with the book yet.  Since we are both practicing the Law of Attraction I decided why not order it.  I actually liked Rhonda Byrne's audiobook of The Power so it was natural for me to be curious about The Magic.

So it came in the mail today and it had a few introductory chapters and then explains that the remainder of the book should be read over 28 days.  So I read day one and the day one assignment was to write down 10 things that you currently have that you are grateful for and the reason why you are grateful for it. So, in an effort to have some accountability, I wanted to share my day 1 assignment with you all.

Day 1 - May 1, 2014

Today I am grateful for:

1) My life - because without life - I would not be here.
2) I am grateful that my friend suggested I purchase this book - The Magic  - because it will allow me to have a deeper connection to GOD by teaching me how to show my gratitude.
3) I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who is always concerned about my safety and comfort.  I am blessed by this because I feel loved.
4) My vision - both physical and non-physical.  I am grateful for physical vision because I have experienced poor vision in the past and I love being able to see the things that GOD created.   I am thankful for non-physical vision because it is GOD leading me down the correct path.
5) I am thankful for being a licensed attorney because it allows me to help people and make money as well.
6) I am thankful for my business because I love being self-employed and helping people.
7) I am thankful for being able to get my car washed today and the oil changed because now my car runs better and looks great.
8) I am thankful that my mom is cancer free because I love my mom and need her in my life.
9) I am thankful that my dad is easy to talk to because I feel like I can talk to him without judgment.
10) I am thankful that my dog ginger is alive because she is a great companion and shows agape non-conditional love. (exactly when I was writing this, she decided to let a fart out, lol - but I still love her)

After you are done writing the things that you are grateful for, you are supposed to read them again and say "thank you, thank you, thank you" and really feel it and mean it.  So this books is going to help me have a better ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE :) 

Do you practice the 11 universal laws of attraction?  Do you believe in the law of attraction?  Have you read The Magic or The Power?  Share your comments below, i'd love to hear from you.

p.s. I'm also thankful for my blog readers!

xoxoxo,

Tatiana
